Shades of Dumb & Dumber…

Millennials (youth voters, age 18-29) demonstrate the GOP challenge for November.

• They see this Democrat-led government as hugely wasteful and inefficient;
• 57% prefer a smaller government, directly opposite Democrat preferences;
• They HUGELY favor private Social Security accounts, which Democrats reject;
• 64% of them want to cut gov’t spending – Democrats want spending increased;
• 57% believe in reward based on merit – Democrats reward by need;
• The majority (55%) want to reduce regulations, Democrats want more regulations;
• 59% favor cutting taxes to help the economy, Democrats crave tax increases;
• And a huge majority reject the Democrats’ big-government nanny state mindset…

…yet the majority of Millennials say they’ll vote Democrat in November?

Winston Churchill once said ‘if you’re young and not a Liberal, you have no heart…if you’re mature and not a conservative, you have no brain…’

On social issues, Millennials act with emotion…and Democrats manipulate this well.

• 74% say gov’t should guarantee citizens a place to sleep, and enough to eat;
• 69% say gov’t should guarantee citizens access to health care;
• 66% say raising taxes (on the wealthy) would help the economy;
• 63% say gov’t spending more on job training would help the economy;
• 54%-58% want more gov’t spending on assistance to the poor, infrastructure, more services, and for providing a ‘college-education guarantee’ for all…

Thus the paradox: Millennials reject Big Gov’t…until heart strings are tugged.

What they don’t understand is, in America, a free-market system deals with these social issues a lot more efficiently, and compassionately, than any gov’t program could…

…just ask any veteran being abused by the VA.
